Gallant Fox at Aqu
 

Any opinions?

Overall it is a horrendous field and Angliana has been against it twice in a row and looks much the best to me.

Thanks for your take on it. You should get a great price on Angiliana.

People are already lining up outside Aqueduct to bet CC Lopez on Park Avenue Prince.

I assume Angliana will be the favorite. He looks pretty obvious on paper.

Successful Romance will be the favorite in my opinion. Has a couple very strong races in a row (going marathon distance) and his trainer cant seem to lose these days. Havent looked at the morning line but will check out for kicks.

1 Win With Beck (NY)
Michael J. Luzzi
9/2

2 Successful Affair (NY)
Ramon A. Dominguez
7/5

3 Park Avenue Prince (VA)
Charles C. Lopez
2/1

4 Angliana (KY)
Jose A. Santos
4/1

5 Malibu Moonshine (FL)
Eddie M. Martin, Jr.
12/1

6 Angelic Aura (FL)
Shaun Bridgmohan
2/1

Whoever is responsible for that line is clueless.


Probably some friend of mine.

Probably Eric Donovan?
Well here is mine:

Successful Romance 1/1
Angelic Aura & Park Prince 3/1
Angliana 7/2
Win with Beck 6/1
Malibu Moonshine 15/1

Well, he's a friend of mine, and it's a tough job, but I will be shocked if Angliana is lower than second choice and certainly he will be much shorter than Win With Beck.

I hope I'm wrong.

Him and Jason Blewitt seem like nice kids. They have a good passion for this sport. Good to see those guys on Talkin Horses. I watch whenever I can.

Successful Affair, should be the favorite and will win for fun.

Everyone is entitled to their own bad opinion.

They are both very good guys.

Agree Angliana
 

All he has to do is run back to those sheet zeros 2 and 3 races ago and he wins for fun...

Were there any excuses last race?

Closest sheet figure is Successful Affair at 2.

PSH

Two back he chased outside against a slow pace on a track favoring inside speed and last time he also chased outside against a HUGE inside bias. Plus, as opposed to the other members of tomorrow's field, he actually raced against reasonable horses.

The distance is always a question but he looks strong to me....at least on paper. He will certainly be no worse than second choice and I don't think it's impossible that he's favored. Successful Affair? Come on....he just won a conditional $16K claimer....after being vanned off in his prior start. That Contessa....he must be some trainer! Who knew?

Both good guys. Strange to hear people roughly my age called "kids". :)

They aren't THAT young.

I can't possibly be THAT old!

Ah yes, this race needs to go back to the days of Coyote Lakes.
NYRA needs to bring back the Display Handicap; two miles and a quarter.

And Jorge Velasquez can come back and ride.

The directions were good to the Big A, BTW. Other than a little backed up traffic on the Belt Parkway, we got there at noon driving from Newark Airport at 10:30 am. The Big A isn't one of the more pleasant track though. The crowd was what you would find at a local OTB and the Clubhouse sure isn't Saratoga. THEY really need to get VLT's there and quick! Just before the 5th race on Thursday, water pour down from the third floor near one of the concession stands. The security just put a couple of trash cans there to catch the water. I left after that for the long ride back upstate. Well, I've
been to all three NYRA tracks, won't likely be going there soon again.

The third floor is really where to go. I should have told you that. Either hang around or get a table in Equestris. It's the best place there by far.

There's a pair of 40-somethings I can think of that might be good together on that show... :rolleyes:

it is written..and it must be done.... byks world byks world,,cappin time exellent..party on steve , party on andy....

Holy crap, that is the like the 5th time in the 4 years I have known you that you actually made sense to where I understood what you were trying to say.....

yes your vegas journal needs beer goggles..but i laughed soo hard..i hope these two get the job..no better in the game..

me too, that's the first time i understood him! :D
excellent!!!!!

Angliana will be 3rd choice. If you really like this horse this much, giddy up Andy. I still think CC will be in front a very long way on the artist otherwise known as Iron Gavel.

Now can D Money get it done in the 7th? Or will Hes a Lumberjack cut them all down?

He rated Jazil's Belmont Stakes #5 of the Top 10 NYRA Stakes of 2006 on today's Capital OTB programming. :p

Contessa's horse had that extra oompth when it counted.

This nonsense has ruined the game.

So, you were saying......?

Park Avenue Rat
Slug Prince
Gerbils and Princes

You pick. Any will do.

Ya really. What a bunch of crap we get to bet now. We were certainly spoiled in the 90's huh Da Hoss?

Jacksonport, Punkin Pie, Shoop, Federal Funds, Iron Gavel, More to Tell, Genes Gray Girl. Arromanches, Coyote Lakes.

"Where have all the good times gone". (A la Van Halen)

Going to eat so much ice cream tonight its going to be sick. Then I am just going to sit in my dark bedroom and stare out the window.

LOL! You and I really should hang out some time Da Hoss!
As annoying as he is, I will take him over John Pricci any day.

Don't harm yourself patting yourself on the back for predicting that a 6:5 favorite, who won by a desperate nose with as perfect a trip as a horse could get, would " win for fun ".

But I understand, a " fan " like you knows the game, and was really just kidding around.

Come on, he sure does beat Rick W. Parry :D

Don't forget Easy N' Dirty!
